Rick,
I saw some of those 3rd party ones that allow hot
keys, but I didn't want to download any old thing
not knowing what other nasties might be with it
:). Perhaps a bit paranoid on that but erring
caution I guess. I'm looking at a mechanical
keyboard, one with much more responsiveness and
longer lasting, and unfortunately more expensive.
I do like the angled type though, I've got a wireless one like that I'd used.

Hi Brad,
Your best bet would probably be looking for a third-party volume utility,
or considering a different keyboard.
If you are using a wired keyboard, Microsoft has a nice one that has volume
control keys just above the function keys.
It is a, "Comfort Curve" keyboard, and sells for about $20.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Thanks yep I see that too. What I'm looking for
is something to quickly mute or turn down volume
when the phone rings or the like without having
to dig deep in a key sequence :). Thanks for the
input though, that is first base if nothing else.
